The college football recruiting websites have mostly finalized their team rankings for the class of 2019 recruits, and the numbers don’t look good for BYU.
On the surface, it looks like another subpar class for the program, which has been a trend the past half-dozen or so years. That’s especially true if you put any stock in the recruiting rankings and the star system that’s been in vogue for two or three decades now.
But as BYU fans are well aware, the rankings mean little when applied to the Cougars because of the school’s missionary program.
